[Asrg] Replay attack

Hi all, 

I received an error report that an email could not be delivered to abuse at genocide.ru. The email that was tried to be sent is below. 

What is interesting, the email seems to be geniune enough, with a DKIM and DomainKey signature. 

1) Do anyone knows where on the web I could paste this email and verify the DKIM ? A kind of web form. 
2) The return-path has been forged and it seems to me they proceeded this way, generate a legitimate DKIM signed email on legitimate MTA, strip a few headers and mass-mail directly to everyone? RCPT TO does not have to match the TO in the header. What gives me a hint is that the received headers do not follow each others. Any tips, info to prevents such problems? Or by doing only a DKIM verification, this would tell me this message is forged? 

Here are only the headers of the email I received in a NDR.
